It’s Not that We Hate Gay People…Um, Well…Yes, It Is
If your state has a “Defense of Marriage” amendment on the ballot and you’re considering whether to vote for it, you’re probably relatively centrist.
After all, if you hated the very idea of people who are different from you being in committed, loving relationships, you would just vote for the damn thing and hope that would put an end to it.
But if you’re on the fence, please consider this short post so you’ll know who you’re getting into bed with.
I don’t have much to say, except that I have never seen the anti-gay marriage folks state their true objectives so boldly.
Here are some actual quotes from the primarygroup promoting the “Defense of Marriage” amendment in Wisconsin, 2006 – the Family Research Institute and their spokesperson, Julaine Appling.
“I think we’ve been extremely tolerant in allowing [homosexuals] to live wherever they choose.”
– Julaine Appling, Isthmus, September 9, 2005 [a Madison, Wisconsin alternative daily which does not take a position against the amendment]
“Society needs to control sexual activity,” she said. “Anytime that you have rampant sexual activity, with no prescriptions on it, society is headed for trouble.”
-Julaine Appling, Family Research Institute of Wisconsin, “Decision 2006: Wisconsin votes on Same-Sex Marriage,” KARE 11, October 23, 2006
Does that represent your view? If so,
